  25-07-2018 23:07 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — For Mike Leach, the NCAA’s new redshirt rule is a step in the right direction, but it’s not quite perfect yet.
  The Washington State head coach has long advocated for five full years of eligibility in college football, but is still in favor of the NCAA’s recent rule change that allows players to appear in up to four games without losing a year of eligibility beginning this fall. Prior to this season, a single snap could cost a player his redshirt opportunity.

  Bartolo Colon (245 wins) and CC Sabathia (243) are baseball’s active leaders in this red-headed stepchild of pitching statistics. While this voter acknowledged that neither Colon nor Sabathia represents his ideal candidate, his self-imposed standard belittles the careers of Clayton Kershaw (147), Max Scherzer
